Having an adequate chimney for your fireplace plays a vital role in the success of a good burning fire. A chimney has two primary functions - first, to carry undesirable combustion, also known as smoke, out of the house and second, to provide the draft that feeds air to the fire to keep it burning.

Your chimney is something that is going to need attention and effort to keep it clean.No one wants to have to spend large amounts of money on chimney repairs, so when you think about the cost of a chimney inspection, remember that it is much more expensive to have to repair it down the road.
